Book Review: Book 32

 Book 32: Crazy Love by Frances Chan

This book can change your life, if you let it.  I had started this book last summer, read a good deal of it and then suggested it to our small group bible study.  This winter we decided to study it together.  It gives you so much to think about.  Frances Chan is a man that God is certainly using.  Just from reading his book, and bits and pieces about him, I can tell that he would not say that he has it all together.  That he is rather a work in progress, as we all are.  The difference is that for him, he realizes that what really matters is eternity.  Something I will openly admit there are days I don't think about. 
So many days we are filled up with the here, the now, the what needs to get done.  We forget about taking time to make sure that we are taking time to invest in the eternity of others.  How do we do that?  By truly believing and living the way Christ asked us to live.  We need to be in love with the Lord.  Following His teaching, and really if we aren't taking time with Him, we can't possibly succeed.  How many relationships do you know where they continue even though the people spend zero time together?  Relationships can't last that way, but that's the amount of time we often give to the Lord. Zero.  If we truly believe that He came so that we may be set free from the bondage of sin, than we should desire to spend time with Him.
While having finished this book just last month, I feel already like I want to reread it. This time straight through instead a chapter a week, just to be reminded again how to be connected with Jesus.

This book can change your life, but if you are looking for a the ultimate life changing book, I think even Frances Chan would say, start with the Bible.  Read the book of John, and learn of God's great sacrifice for you, and the world.

I would give this book 10 stars!  (even though I've been using a 5 star max)
